I recently launched a new website that is dedicated to my Kansas landscape photographs. The website showcases a comprehensive collection of Kansas landscape pictures from throughout the state.

These photo galleries feature images of the Kansas landscape. The pictures were made in various regions throughout the state and describe the geographic diversity of Kansas. I regularly make photographs in the Flint Hills of Central Kansas, the Great Plains of Western Kansas, and the glaciated region in the northeast portion of the state. These photos emphasize the simple beauty of the Midwest landscape, and feature some of the dynamic weather systems that have shaped the Kansas terrain for thousands of years. My images of the Midwest are seldom a literal representation of the scene. They represent my own artistic interpretation of events. I use the camera as a simple vehicle. In the same way a painter uses his paintbrush, I use the camera as a tool to communicate my feelings of awe to my audience. The finished image can represent a place that is real, remembered or imagined. In this regard, my Kansas landscape images become more like paintings rather than photographs. Regardless of how one classifies my work, these pictures represent a Kansas landscape that continues to inspire.

Dan. It’s been a while since I’ve checked your blog or website (sorry). I’ve been catching up on your posts and was surprised to see you added color photos to your repertoire. And they’re absolutely awesome! You’ve taken landscape photos to a new level.
